because i only had 8 photos but CL says im over the limit with 11 photos. HAHAH
anyways...

in the meantime....

here are some pics that i did just for fun...again, iphone pics. HAHAHA

so my friend was washing his car (mazda3) at my house and he decided to take off his side moldings. i was just having fun and put the side moldings on different places.

side moldings on side


different angle



side moldings on hood (hood accents)



side moldings on doors (whatever they're called)





side moldings on rear bumper


this actually got me thinking...on the GFM, SP, TP, DSG, and all the lighter color cars, the ings+1 rear lip has the two tone color. (color paint matched outside and the middle part black)
but what about the darker color cars like OB, SGM, etc? what if we got the ings+1 rear lip, got the outsides paint matched but the middle part white? just a suggestion. the last pic made me think if that.

anyways...enjoy the ONE-OF-A-KIND 2is with side moldings HAHAHAHH

I'd freaking kick your car Andrew if you ever show up with those moldings
slam it when you get the Megans

you know you are doing it right when you are scraping

Lucky you!!!!! With the wheel spacers and now with the coils. You can eliminate the gap and even out the tilt from the driver side.

when you decide on the amount of drop just remember these words of wisdom~

If you're not scraping, you're not low enough - llamaboiz

What kind of warranty claim are you expecting related to your suspension? Because it won't impact the rest of the warranty coverage.
